- Emiko and Hagiwara arrive at Serizawa's home. During the interview, Hagiwara cites a source saying that Serizawa is close to a breakthrough in defeating Godzilla.
- Serizawa denies this and claims his work isn't worth discussing.
- Hagiwara apologizes for the intrusion and leaves.
- Alone, Emiko also wonders what Serizawa's up to. He agrees to show her but swears her to secrecy first. Nothing sketchy about that.
- They go into his lab/basement, which looks like it was constructed by Frankenstein Pharma. Serizawa drops a metal ball into a fish tank and then flips a switch.
- Whatever Emiko sees in there freaks her out.
